Of course, there's a disclaimer before the start of the actual action where the man asks his viewers not to perform similar stunts at home unless someone is a professional microwave operator with at least 30 years of qualified professional microwaving experience! That's a helpful tip.

He puts the brand new device into a worn out microwave and turns it on. Almost immediately the phone starts crackling and approximately 40 seconds in, the phone sets on fire with a single flame. Moments later, it bursts into a ball of flames.

After being burnt for three minutes, the phone is blasted with water before being removed from the oven with a iron spatula.

The blackened iPhone remains in one piece.

He further puts the destroyed device on sale with a free iBall skull; no one can resist that!

The video is catching up with netizens and has been viewed 40,000 times since it was uploaded.
